Your /etc/chatscripts/provider probably needs an extra line.
On the 1st try ATZ isn't resetting to the modem optimum for ppp
Do the following:
After a successful 2nd, do a
cat /var/log/ppp.log
and see the ATxxxxx sent to the modem
Then modify your /etc/provider so it reads like the following
---------------------
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
"" ATZ
OK ATE0Q0S0=0M0V1X1&C1&D2 << your new line, I added in the "M0" for
quiet modem"
OK ATDT3012539182
CONNECT \d\c
